Dopey moment. Was having a browse through the Urban Threads sale and I put a design I liked the look of in my basket. The lovely website told me I'd already bought it along with my order number. Aren't they great?

This lap blanket began as a pile of granny squares I had made for something else (which didn't quite work out how I wanted it.) By the time I had decided not to use up the squares, I had started to crochet a square with the leftover yarn (for no particul

This my current work in progress. To be honest I'm not sure I like it. (I've had the jelly roll for about three years and I love the colours and most of the fabrics, but there are a few really random ones in it. Also, they are not all cut very straight.

I got the pattern for this strange garment from a Japanese book. The first picture shows it as a skirt and the second, fastened at the bottom to create harem pants. Interesting, but I don't know how much wear it will get!
